I haven&#39;t seen any ground hornet nests up here in on the border. Maybe the ground freezes too hard or something? Who knows.<br /><br />P.S. A. had a similar moment of &quot;I never knew you could move so fast&quot; when our youngest son got knocked down by a wave in the lake last time we were at Blackrock and was literally floating facedown, completely still. I wasn&#39;t even in the water, but when I saw him go down I was up and out of my chair so fast A. didn&#39;t even register I was moving until I was almost to the drowning child. He never believed I would react so quickly in an emergency. (Probably especially at seven months pregnant, when I&#39;m not exactly speedy to begin with.) I was like, &quot;What do you think a mother&#39;s instinct is FOR, man? So her offspring don&#39;t DIE.&quot;<br /><br />Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-54700205383700745132017-08-04T10:04:08.695-07:002017-08-04T10:04:08.695-07:00WTG on the sub 2 lol.

God knows, there was never any lack of shit that needed scything at Blackrock.<br /><br />Happy vacation week! Soon.

With that said, our trees are quite happy. The orange and lemon trees are full of fruit (which is odd because I&#39;ve pulled off a ton already)...our new apricot and pink lady trees have blooms! And then there&#39;s our lime tree looking all lame and such. Oh well.

And happy spring from the Canadian border, where my children are building incredible snow warrens in the literal mountains of snow outside.<br /><br />P.S. I somehow missed your last post about not having a vegetable garden, which I totally understand, but . . . could you plant a citrus tree for me? Any kind, I don&#39;t care. I am insanely jealous of anyone who can grow any kind of citrus plant outdoors and I can&#39;t understand why everyone who lives in citrus-friendly areas doesn&#39;t have every variety available.<br />Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-24278047824843618112016-09-30T13:08:16.405-07:002016-09-30T13:08:16.405-07:00After battling rabbits, voles, chipmunks, sparrows...After battling rabbits, voles, chipmunks, sparrows, and woodchucks, I am giving up on (most of) the vegetable garden. There are enough farmers markets here to provide fresh produce nearly year round, so why am I working so hard?

We do, however, have killer slugs.. (Iberia slugs/snails) Not to be confused with the rather cute killer tomatoes (which ate France sometime in the 80&#39;s or 90&#39;s).. Good luck, and may the dothraki grant you victory!

Matt doesn&#39;t know it, but I&#39;ve got PLANS for him. Also, I might buy the lighted fox at Target on his payday. To go between my pig and flamingo, but not close enough to Darth Vader.
